UPDATE 9:00 PM ISRAEL TIME
All soldiers’ deaths are tragic, but this one today is particularly so. Col. Ahsan Daksa, famed commander of the ‘Iron Traces’ formation (401), division 162, was killed in northern Gaza when his tank was blown apart by an IED planted in the road and remotely detonated.
To get a sense of what he meant to his Druze community of Dalyiat El Carmel, this is the death notice it published a few hours ago:
“Dalyiat El Carmel wears black!! Cry and say that a hero fell!!! With sorrow, pain and much grief, Dalyiat El Carmel, the IDF, the Druze community and the State of Israel say goodbye to one of its heroes. Today Col. Ahsan Daksa of the 401st Armored Brigade Battalion was killed in Gaza. A hero, brave, a fighter who became a legend, humble who fought since the beginning of the war.”
May Col. Daksa’s Memory Be For A Blessing
The Withering Hezbollah Missile and UAV Attacks Continue
Since our morning update, 21 more barrages have struck communities on the border as well as communities in the upper and lower Galilee. Hardest hit have been Kiryat Shmona, Metulla, and Haifa.
The Treacherous Biden Administration
We have already written about how it is quite possible that Israel’s retaliatory attack on Iran has been sabotaged and set back by Bidenites who leaked it to Iran via the media.
From the Jerusalem Post today: “The Biden government leaked to the Iranian government Israel’s plan to attack and gave the exact date it would be carried out and the targets of the attack.”
With friends like Joe Biden and his Vice-President Kamala Harris, who needs enemies?
In Case You Missed It
The UAV that Hezbollah sent to Caesarea two days ago actually hit PM Netanyahu’s home causing significant damage.
That he was the target of an assassination attempt is beyond question.
And yet the world is largely quiet–none more so than the leftists here in Israel.
The world and leftists have fallen into a moral abyss from which there seems to be no return.
UPDATE 11:00 AM ISRAEL TIME
May His Memory Be For A Blessing
The IDF announced yesterday that Maj. Yishai (Netanel) Greenbaum Greenbaum) 38 years old, from Lod, a platoon sergeant in the 5030th battalion, the ‘Alon’ brigade (288), died of his wounds after being seriously wounded on October 9, 2024, in a battle in southern Lebanon.
Prayers
The public is asked to offer prayers for IDF soldier Guy Yaakov Ben Yael who was critically wounded in battle yesterday.

The Bidenites Strike Again
We all know that President Biden and his minions have done everything in their power to stop Israel from attacking Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Now in an effort to thwart an attack on Iran, they have orchestrated a leak of classified documents pertaining to Israel’s impending attack against Tehran.
We all continue to wait for that attack–possibly coming even sooner considering the attack on Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea yesterday which Netanyahu quickly blamed on Iran.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
